    AbstractHerein, we summarise the results of the most relevant studies presented at the 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting in the field of soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs). Innovations on the management of localised disease, highlights from the different experiences in the metastatic setting and large studies on rare histologies will be included. Special attention will be paid to results on immunotherapy, antiangiogenics use in histology with limited sensitivity to standard chemotherapy and new compounds. The preliminary results on the impact of the next generation sequencing in the everyday management of STS and GIST patients will be also discussed.
